I upgraded to some Motorex Full Synthetic when I did the 748's oil not to long ago.... Just the change in oil was a HUGE difference in power... It was running like a raped ape... I can't wait to try it again with some lower grade oil to see if I have the same dramatic improvement in performace from just an oil change.

Are you joking right now? You can't run conventional olive oil in these high performance engines. :
Synthetic olives only.

Mineral spirits, or a high-grade 140wt gear oil should do the trick. Anything in between, synthetic or otherwise, might lead to premature angina and sudden seizure of the horn button. In fact we need to start a thread on high-performance titanium horn buttons with platformate and parrafin contact patch to help us achieve primo launch and testicular jiggle. Oil? Fill 'er up with sawdust and she'll be as quiet as a field mouse farting in the woods. Yep, it's time for my medication.

Amsoil 20/50 motorcycle oil.
Couldn't find it yesterday so went with the Purple stuff 10/40 motorcycle oil.
I figure any full syn that is "motorcycle oil" is probably OK - had additives for the tranny.

After 2 years of MX4T, now using Shell Rotella 5W40 Type III synthetic (oh no, it's not Type IV!!!) and the bike shifts way better (yeah, wet clutch M800) - less false neutrals, much more positive shifts. And the exhaust doesn't stink like with MX4T, plus is about 1/2 the price of MX4T at Wallyworld. And one of the new Amsoil super-duper filters, painted black.

It's EaO138C - and the C must be for Chrome, not Monster-like at all. Word is Amsoil will soon produce a black one.
